Joachim, known as Jo, was born on 21 July 1920 in Berlin, Germany, the twin brother of Norbert and they had an older sister Ursel. Their parents were Max and Selma nee Friedmann who were born in Poland. Max served in the Polish Army in WW1 and moved to Berlin to escape the pogroms in Poland, where he ran a shoe shop. After school Jo trained to be a welder and after his parents were sent to a concentration camp he fled to England where he stayed with a cousin. The siblings were separated with Norbert leaving for New Zealand and Ursel going to Israel. Their father Max died in the camp but their mother survived and travelled to her daughter in Israel after the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo travelled to Israel but his movements are unclear. Records state that he recruited into the British Army. A report from 1943 states that served in the Palestine Police and the Czech Legion. It was around this time that Jo joined the 2nd SAS and returned to the UK in March 1944. He travelled with his regiment to Prestwick, Scotland for pre D-Day training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of ‘Operation Hardy’, on 27th August 1944, he was parachuted into the Forest of Chatillon in Burgundy with a fellow soldier at night-time at a height of about 600 feet. His parachute did not open and his body was found at dawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Jo’s family in 1944 from his immediate superior, Captain Grant Hibbert he writes ‘He was buried the next day, after a full church service at which some 500 people attended, in the cemetery at Recey-Sur-Ource along with 7 RAF personnel who had crashed there some time previously. He will be a great loss to the Squadron and Regiment. He was very popular amongst the men and deservedly looked on as an extremely good, efficient and cheerful soldier by all the officers.’ \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1996, Jo’s headstone was changed from a Cross to a Star of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
